Bee Hive Removal |
Our goal is to reduce conflicts between man and pests by providing solutions using the most acceptable and economical methods possible.
Animals are an important part of our environment, and
add to the beauty of our world in the proper wild settings.
However, wildlife can become destructive pests damaging
landscaped areas, homes and other buildings, and commonly
contribute to erosion, slope failure and water loss. |

Our Rodent Division provides solutions for rodent pests that can invade a home/business and destroy landscaping. We offer control methods such as baiting, habitat modification, trapping and burrow fumigants.
Rodents can carry many diseases, one of the most famous being the bubonic plague which is carried by ecto-parasites (fleas). Humans and pets can become the victims of flea bites. Some diseases such as the Hantavirus, can be deadly to humans. Hantavirus is associated with Deer mice.

Bird Control |
Bird problems can come in many forms.
Nesting and/or roosting in unwanted areas can create
nuisance noise, sanitation and maintenance problems,
as well as potential health hazards on buildings and
homes. Bird droppings are unsightly, can cause staining
or damage and promote the transmission of several diseases
affecting man. Prevention of nesting in or around air
conditioning and heating units is especially important.
Our BIRD DIVISION offers humane control of a variety of
birds by our exclusion experts. Some of the species we
provide management solutions for include:
Pigeons
Swallows
Starlings
Gulls
Sparrows
Crows
We also offer a variety of retail products that you may
purchase from us for DIY projects. These products include
ledge repelling spikes, netting and flock dispersal devices. |

Pigeon droppings in an infested attic |
Droppings from pest birds can contain many fungal and viral diseases that can seriously affect the health or create a liability issue if you are the owner of a public building. Diseases typically associated with bird droppings include:
Histoplasmosis
Candidiasis
Paratyphoid
Salmonella
Listiosis
Encephalitis
Meningitis
Newcastle Disease and Trichomoniasis.
Where necessary, our technicians use specific disinfectants that kill
all bacteria and viruses during the clean-up process, while protecting
their own health with Personal Protective Equipment. |
| |
| BIRD FACT: Feral pigeons are direct descendants of the ancient Roman Homing Pigeons; they are non-migratory and live and die in the same place. Simple removal of these birds from their nesting site will not solve the problem, as they will “home” back to the site. |

| BED BUG FACT: Female bed bugs lay their eggs in secluded areas, depositing up to five a day and 500 during a lifetime. When first laid, the eggs are sticky, causing them to adhere to substrates. Newly hatched nymphs are no bigger than a pinhead. Bed bugs are very resilient. Nymphs can survive months without feeding and the adults for more than a year. |
